How can I practice meditation when I'm working multiple jobs and exhausted?

I've sat with many people who tell me they don't have time to practice, and I understand. When your body is already depleted, asking it to sit still feels like another demand. But here's what I've learned: practice doesn't mean forty minutes on a cushion. It means three conscious breaths before your shift starts. It means noticing your feet on the ground while you wait for the bus. It means feeling your hands in warm water for one full minute instead of rushing through washing them. Dipa Ma raised her children in a small room in Calcutta. She didn't have a retreat center or silence. She found stillness in the texture of daily life—in the body's small moments of rest that are already happening. Start where you are. Not where you think you should be. One conscious breath is real practice. Your exhaustion is real too. Honor both.
